Seek Justice that You May Live
Author: John R. Donahue
Publisher:
ISBN: 9780809148745
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
Here is a study of the major themes of both the Old and New Testaments that bear on issues of social justice, e.g., creation; exodus; liberation; prophets; psalms and Wisdom literature; Jesus and the kingdom of God; Matthew and the heritage of Israel; Luke: Jesus as a Prophet who proclaims good news to the Poor; and Paul: justification and community solidarity. Concluding reflections are included. The work will consist of reflections on each of these themes followed by resource bibliographies that will help people to continue their own study. The book has arisen from three decades of speaking and writing on the issues of social justice in the Bible and from engagement in over twenty-five "Preaching the Just Word" retreats founded by the late Walter Burghardt, SJ, and given to priests throughout the country.

Book Description
Thank you for taking a few moments of your time to look at my guide. Take its hand and come alongone scene of life at a time, one past picture at a time, and one full indelible life lasting tattoo, like a branded number for a name. All we were left with as a peoples, a family, a race, a culture or even as a name you can help trace back that missing link, that cast away tribe, a blood or even a DNA connection. Yes, you could help us, and we All would be eternally grateful in our appreciation to YOU... So you see, but do you understand, just how difficult a task, or such a search, is to us as we try to find our past? Think of losing all your identity for over 400 years and finally finding a word, afile, or a disc which shows a connection to your past... Would you walk by and ignore it or step into the fray as you searched for that scene where-from you perhaps DID come......? So thank you for stopping to show a little interest.....dnc

So We and Our Children May Live
Author: Sarah Augustine
Publisher: MennoMedia, Inc.
ISBN: 1513812963
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 254
Book Description
Will we choose life for our children and the future of our planet? Everywhere we look, we see signs that all is not right with our earth: Extreme weather patterns wreak havoc. Pollutants sour soils and waterways. Fires and floods ravage land and communities. Climate change is just a symptom of a larger ecological crisis. If we want change, the solutions can’t come through the same systems that created those problems. Ecological justice requires us to challenge our assumptions about creation and our relationship to it. It requires decolonization. We must turn to the leadership of Indigenous communities who struggle for all life as land and water protectors, and we must call on people of faith to join them—to confront climate change and resource extraction and choose life for our children and the future of our planet. This book offers hope for a better future alongside concrete actions for joining with Indigenous Peoples to protect life and negotiate with decision-makers for sustainable change that follows Jesus.

Since creation's fall, suffering has been part of earthly life. At times, it can feel overwhelming, even for believers who trust in the Lord. The Suffering and the Christian Life series provides help and hope from Scripture for those who are suffering. In volume 2 of this series, Mark Talbot explores Scripture's account of the origin, spread, and eventual end of suffering, giving Christians the perspective they need to get through life's difficult times. He encourages readers to see themselves within the Bible's storyline (creation, rebellion, redemption, and consummation), finding the courage to endure and taking comfort that God is at work for their good.

Rescue: So Others May Live!
Author: J.D. Wilson
Publisher: WestBow Press
ISBN: 1490814353
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 159
Book Description
Leadership in the church has lost its God-ordained identity as small family fellowship leaders and traded it in for a Business model of leadership. The model for church life that Jesus left as a very strong impression on the New Testament was to be part of a family - that shares each other's burdens, and offers hope and healing prayer to one another. My purpose in writing this book is to help church leaders and small group leaders re-discover their God-given roles of family leadership. I write this message also, in order to equip followers of Jesus to model and emulate Jesus Christ to others through surrender and obedience to the Holy Spirit. Galatians clearly teaches to "Walk by the Spirit" and that should be our only goal, then Jesus can "Rescue" hearts through us.
